6. J is the Angel Shopping Centre in Islington

   • I looked at every Mr Pretzels in the UK on Google maps, but couldn’t find it – the reason being that shopping centre is being redeveloped and its not there any more.

     The annoying thing is I used to live not far from there – used to drink in The Angelic across the road so now I see it I of course recognise it.

     • I didn’t find it until Aergistal said angels – google maps just showed me a some scattered across the north of England!

7. J: ANGEL, London, Mr Pretzels.

8. L: ANGEL Falls 🙂

9. C. Beit Ha-Defus street, Jerusalem (link to Google Maps), site of Angel’s Bakery.

10. G: ANGEL Oak near Charleston

11. I – ARCHANGELSK

12. K – The childhood home of Janet Frame, who wrote AN ANGEL AT MY TABLE

    • Apart from small differences in the houses, that is amazingly like Scotland, in a way that e.g. American towns never are. I can see why the Scots felt at home over there!

13. I’ll just drop the last one since it’s basically done:

    B – El Ángel Lima Metro station: https://goo.gl/maps/s42KRiENpBrLjZFc6

14. Bonus entry I guess:

    Friday Foxer #111 – In other fields: the ANGEL number 111 is associated with a balanced life, cooperation, deep love, soulmate, and harmonious relationship with yourself.

    The more you learn …
